I just found out a local News Channel wants to do a story on my ring return. They found out about it from my towns news paper. The paper had trouble reaching me so they quoted parts of my post onTreasure Net. This is just unreal. Im glad this happened now and not 20 years ago. I used to be so shy I would have just stood there and stared at the camera. LOL

I'm glad for you TENNESSEEGAL! The news story will put a real good light on relic hunters. They get a bad rap too often. Way to go!

Chalk another one up to the fact the METAL DETECTING and METAL DETECTORISTS are GOOD!!! My city won't allow us in the parks anymore. No telling how many lost rings will never be found...

Thank you for representing us well!! :hello2:

Thank you all so much. It's weird. I've been thinking about silly things such as 'Should I clean all of the dirt off my detector before the interview. . LOL

Thank you all. They were going to film the piece tonight but we were bumped by a breaking news story. LOL It will probably be done tomorrow after Keith and I get off work.

Tennesseegal,

Great article. I know that had to make you feel so good. It should, you did a wonderful thing. You will surely be rewarded for such a good deed. It may not be a monetary reward, but a deed that good always brings it's just rewards in life. Kudos for being a good person at heart.
